Aviation Milestones

Overview

The Aviation Milestones Unit begins immediately at the Wright Brothers' successful flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17th, 1903. Now that the Wright Brothers have made their ground-breaking invention, the real challenge begins– making the world believe in their heavier-than-air accomplishments. Within a short span of time, the capabilities of aviation are advanced at every turn. We will look at ground-breaking accomplishments such as Charles Lindbergh's historic trans-Atlantic flight, Chuck Yeager's breaking of the sound barrier, and Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon. ​
